That's not the issue at hand here.

Yes, yes it is.
The issue is the computer not doing what I asked.
I tried to get VLC to open up a PDF and it didn't do as I asked. Should I cry censorship at the VLC devs, or should I accept that all software only does as a user asks insofar as the developers allow it?
If VLC refused to open an MP4 because it contained violent imagery I would absolutely cry censorship.
And if VLC put in its TOS it won't open an MP4 with violent imagery, crying censorship would be a bit silly.
